I really enjoy taking Jeff clark's classes. I have been lucky enough to have him for both of my math classes, and if I ever have to take any more at the JC, he is the first teacher I would look into taking them with. I wish my high school teachers had been as good as he is. He is very clear, and if you dont understand, he will explain until you do. He is very open about meeting for help in his office, and makes you feel totally comfortable going to see him. Very nice/good teacher!

I loved Jeff Clark. I took all my Math classes with him and always got at least a B. I never did well with math in high school, but once I started taking it with Clark, I actually started to enjoy Math...and years later, I never thought I would hear myself say this, "but I miss Algebra!!" I can't wait to help my kids and my husband do math.

I took him for Math 1B a year ago and it was clear that he did not know the material. He may be a good algebra teacher, but he should not be teaching Calculus (II). He did not know how to do many of the problems he assigned!! When confused, he sometimes talked about algebra!? I got an A, but I can only thank the book for that.

He's truly a nice and funny guy. But if it weren't for me taking Statistics in high school, I'd probably have an average grade in his class right now. He's not very good at explaining questions asked in class, and he only has you attempt the homework, so he doesn't care if you get the right answer or not. But he does have group quizes!

He is a bit scattered when is comes to teaching class, however, he is nice and tries hard to convey ideas. Class had a lot of extra credit opportunities and was pretty easy if you studied and were prepared. Attendance is fairly mandatory. He may have been a better instrutor for a lower level class that wasn't 5-units, but he was OK.

Even though I enjoyed Jeff as a person, he was inadequate at teaching pre calculus. I think it was out of his realm of capability. We didn't cover all of the required material and I ended the class unprepared for upper level calculus. It was very deceiving bc I received an A+ in Jeff's class, but now I'm hardly passing calculus I.

Amazing teacher! At the start of the course, he makes you purchase his manual( for like $20-30), but that manual has all of the notes and information you need to pass the class easily. He goes over each section directly from this manual so you can follow along. Tests are extremely easy if you can do what is on the manual, lowest test I got was 98.
